Tip: Squeeze your smoky slate stamp pad to deposit ink on the top of the lid. You can lift this ink with your aqua painter to color your Koala. Or you can add a couple of drops to the lid from your refill bottle.

Create a Flower Using Punches

Use the following punches to achieve the super cute flower!! I used my scissors to cut in on the scallops. I made my cuts after every 2 petals. This gives you the opportunity to fluff the petals and make it more life like.

Base

1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Old Olive cardstock. This is your base.

Tip: Ink up your background stamp and stamp it in the of your old olive cardstock… approx. at 5-1/2″ before you score and prep your cardstock.

2. Using an exacto knife cut one small line under the 5-1/2″ score line and one line above the 5-1/2″ score line. Be sure to leave a 1/2″ of each side. Cut the ends and pop this piece out. Your Koala will pop up out of this center cut!

3. Score the long side of your cardstock at 1″ 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″, 5-1/2″, 7-1/4″, 8-1/4″ and 10″

4. Prep all score lines.

5. Bend your base around underneath until the 1″ score and the 10″ lines meet. Use your Tear and Tape Adhesive to adhere your Koala base to one side of the 1″ base. Your going to sandwich the Koala base between your 1″ and 10″ scored pieces. See pick or video featuring fold.

6. Cut (2) 1-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of old olive cardstock and use your old olive stamp pad and stamp to add the background.

Tip: One you put your base together adhere your 1-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ pieces to the front and back of your base. This keeps your card standing tall and firm when pushed down.

7. Cut a 1-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of cardstock and stamp your background on it. Use your Stampin’ Up! fringe scissors to cut your grass! If you want you can add your twine.

I absolutely LOVE your videos, I could listen to you all day!!! Love what you create, makes me want all the products, and that is not possible at this time, working on getting an order together, and I am very excited about it! When you use the punches, they seem effortless….are they they easy to squeeze? Wish I lived closer to meet you in person, thanks for all you do!
Congrats on your new home
Oh and where do I submit my order?

Brandy, congrats on your new house & I love the card and will have to try this set-up of a card. Though I do have a question. Why do you stamp the middle and than add the stamped top peices? The stamped middle disapeared under it.
Thanks for all the good and fun tutorials which I love to watch and try to copy (the ideas mostly) here in Iceland.

Oh my gosh, I just love this pop up card ? It is adorable. I have already tried it out! Thank you for the great video, you always do such a lovely job, it’s a joy to listen to you craft . btw-I see many Christmas cards with snow globes and Halloween Pumpkin cards in my future pop up card making ?

Thanks for the great tutorial! Our oldest is in grad school and has a HUGE presentation to give on Tuesday – – so I prepped a pop up card using the “Way to go!” sentiment and the cheerful critters set for his 18-year-old kitten to send after he nails it 🙂
Your willingness to so freely share your talent is most appreciated!

I love that idea!!! You can total make it a “Way to go!” sentiment with the cheerful critters. That would be perfect!!! I’d love for you to email me a picture. I love to see what everyone else is creating. Sending hugs and prayers to your son. Keep me posted!!! Blessings, Brandy
